Sure. Sorry for forgetting about that bug as it could have been easily
fixed in 3.2.3-3. Merci, Thierry for the patch.

So, the choice is now 3.2.3-4 or 3.2.4-1 ?

If we go for 3.2.3-4, I'd propose first waiting for 3.2.3-3 to age and
enter testing.

As I got no reaction to my proposal of cooking a request for 3.2.4 to
Debian release manager's (snet in the pkg-samba-maint at lists.alioth.d.o
mailing list), here's what I propose:

-wait for the week-end to give Steve Langasek a chance to comment on
my proposed text
- on Monday, send the request for permission to upload
- wait for 3.2.3-3 to enter testing
- depending on Debian RMs answer, either upload 3.2.3-4 with #499359
  fixed....or upload 3.2.4-1 with that bug fixed as well.

Comments?

(I'll be away until Sunday morning...leaving you guys time to followup)
